For 5 weeks have tried to find out state of my health claim with @AllianzAssistCA (part of @AllianzPartners) with absolutely no success. Wait times are up to 117 minutes; callbacks come late and often cut off. No one can answer @SunLife issues. This is appalling service.
Government #remotework is here for a while. Governments need to invest in training leaders with a #hybridwork or remote workforce so that they can build strong #teams, ensure #equitydiversityinclusion, remain effective and meet goals. https://t.co/089h9FnX0t
From the UK, the Nolan Principles, seven action behaviours for anyone, elected or non-elected, who works in the public or para-public sector. How are we doing? https://t.co/W6GAjH9KSp
Today is my last day as President and CEO of the Institute on Governance. I have been with the organization for ten years and in this particular job for almost five. Thanks to have the great team members, colleagues and partners who have shared adventures.
Lawrence Martin writes in @globeandmail today about the loss of humor in politics. Brings back memories of hilarious House of Commons repartees between the Liberal Rat Pack and Tory John Crosbie in the 80s.
Warning: the following is a bit of self promo. Fellow @IOGca colleague @KarlSalgo and I wrote a short piece about the Speech From the Throne, published on iPolitics this eve. Check it out here: https://t.co/mHBPGPybUz
Has the #covid19 pandemic increased or decreased your trust in the #government? Here’s how respondents in 25 countries feel about their #political and #economic system and how that compares to their views pre-covid19. https://t.co/qYqDOZ5NJ8
I get the politics, but the 3/4 of Canadians who think #elxn44 is unnecessary should remember that it is a privilege to even have the chance to #vote, choose your #government and live through the peaceful transition of power.
This event, led by @ArcticVandine is important for public servants. It speaks to a unique element of the peaceful transition of power. I highly recommend it and the full series he is leading.
Last call for signups for this #Elxn44 course happening tomorrow afternoon: https://t.co/2q1XtQBq09
Just a couple of spots left. If you work in/with #GC, understanding the caretaker convention is important business. Don't miss out. #cdnpoli#ElectionTwitter#campaign
Attending the #IPAC2021IAPC virtual conference yesterday and today… @IPAC_IAPC@IPAC_NCR thank you for organizing this excellent panel perspectives on Canada’s pandemic response and relations between federal, provincial and local government! Looking forward to the breakouts
To anyone covering #elxn44 – the IOG has resident experts on the big questions of #CdnPoli today.
Governance. Federal government capacity. Leadership. The role of sci+tech in public policy. (And more.)
DMs are open if you need a source/quote.
Good on the federal government for mandating COVID-19 vaccines for public servants and federally regulated workers. CTV reports https://t.co/uoed9LWPWO that 74% of Canadians support mandatory vaccines, so why would the Tories accuse the government of overstepping?
These are great reasons - I worked on the very first Citizens' First and Business First reports years ago when at Treasury Board of Canada, and it is great to see how the ICCS has taken it over.
Why does citizen experience with public service delivery matter? There are at least 6 reasons for the public sector to deliver their programs and services with a citizen-centred approach. https://t.co/p8A0o9ib2w
